Higher daily protein intake, with an emphasis on leucine content, is thought to mitigate age-related anabolic resistance, potentially counteracting age-related morphological and functional declines. The present study investigated potential associatio... Read More about Daily leucine intake is positively associated with lower limb skeletal muscle mass and strength in the elderly..
